With weather forecast to reach 60 degrees in Knoxville, Tennessee, I decided to wear shorts on a hike to Hen Wallow Falls, a 1.5 hour drive by car – forgetting that temperatures in mountain elevations are often much colder…whoops!
It was 34 degrees when I began my pre-sunrise hike of less than 5 miles out and back, along the Gabes Mountain Trail, through a hemlock and rhododendron (seasonal) forest. At 90-feet tall, I’d visited this waterfall once before, and soon recalled both the inclination and rough surface trail conditions.

Beautiful scenes from the waterfalls!
Thanks so much, Indira ~ glad you like it 🙂
Wonderful. 🖤
Glad you like it, Amber 🖤
Very beautiful place. Liked the pics
Thanks – glad you like it 👍
Fantastic photography. The settings certainly look slippy and dangerous too.
Cheers
Glad you like it, Johnny & thank you 👍 Yes, it was quite slippery around the falls, and with mud/clay on the trail, also.
I always take a sweatshirt or jacket with me when heading into the mountains, even during the summer. You can almost always guarantee at least a ten degree deference… Hope you stayed warm enough!
Thanks Holly ~ yes, always a good idea. I warmed up quickly, though, once I got started 👍
moving around always helps 🙂
Incredible!
Glad you like it, Tiffany ~ thanks 🙂
